JUNGLE BOY posted:https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1402695639897681920?s=20 Man. So DIY vs. AoP vs. Revival is possibly my favorite WWE match of the past five years. It's so damning to see what became of all three teams. One went to the main roster, got screwed around, asked for their releases and moved on to the competition where they felt more respected. One went to the main roster for a cup of coffee, got screwed around and made sure to hide out in developmental until the heat death of the universe. Then the dominant team came to the main roster, got screwed around, got released and now they're just done.

The moment they showed up on the main roster without Paul Ellering and their whole gimmick was doing literal toilet jokes with Drake Maverick they were just dead in the water. That and the fact that one or the other kept getting injured and WWE has some weird rule where if one tag team guy is injured the other is just banned from television as well

It's hard for me to imagine giving up that life to go back and work in a goddamn call center or whatever you end up doing. Not that I wouldn't do it if I were in their position but just always having it in the back of your head that a couple years ago you were wrestling on live TV must be hard. Those guys were so great until they weren't. It's a bummer.

Or fairy dust. Or whatever other magical bullshit they try to put in place of the real reason - that they suck at playing to a performer's strength.

Akam and Rezar were drat fine big thick boy wrestlers but honestly if they went and got regular jobs, they're probably good jobs that they're happy with. Dudes could've found a manager and worked the indies if they wanted. That they didn't suggest they're probably content. Good for them.

IIRC Rey was charging like four figures for autographed pictures and people were lining up to pay it. Dude knows his worth.

I mean that's clearly the play here. He's set his price and either some money mark will pay it or he'll keep sitting on his couch. Sounds like he's financially set anyway.

Nothing super memorable (maybe her psych out after she won the Elimination Chamber), but she's good at delivering wooden WWE promos. She's not bad in the ring.

Alexa bliss is the master of the “I’m going to apologize… That you’re all stupid” promo! And that’s 30% of what women say on camera.

I struggle to call her particularly good. I wish they were asking her to be more than this goofy Fiend garbage. Alexa is naturally charismatic and likeable. That Elimination Chamber speech got a pop for the fake out because it was obviously genuine, then a second pop for the heel turn ("give us hell, Quimby") because it was entertainingly worked. In ring I think her biggest problem is that the wrestles like she's 7 feet tall thing was great as a deluded heel in NXT but makes no sense as a successful strategy later. Interestingly her earliest rough matches in NXT have a more interesting athletic style that she never refined and went back to as a face.
